Instructions

1 Marinate

Chop the chicken. Combine the chicken, ginger garlic paste, 2 Tbsp of lemon juice, coriander cumin powder, garam masala, turmeric and a pinch of chilli powder (spicy!) in a bowl. Add 100 g of natural yogurt and mix well. Marinate for at least 15 min, preferably for a few hours or overnight in the fridge.

Tip! If cooking for kids, reserve some chicken separately without the marinade and set aside.

2 Boil rice

Once the chicken has marinated for long enough, add the basmati rice, the measured water and a pinch of salt to a pot with a lid and bring to the boil over a high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-12 min or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Remove the pot from the heat and keep covered until serving.

3 Fry chicken

Meanwhile, heat a pan over a medium-high heat with the ghee. Once hot, remove the chicken chunks from the marinade (don't shake off the excess) and add them to the pan. Discard the leftover marinade. Fry the chicken for 3 min.

Tip! If cooking for kids, cook the reserved chicken separately and set aside, before adding the remaining marinated chicken.

4 Simmer

Add the tomato passata, cooking cream, 0.5 stock cube and brown sugar. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer (don't boil!) for 10-15 min. Add a splash of water if the sauce looks too thick. Season with salt to taste.

5 Prep sides

Meanwhile, grate the carrot. Pick the coriander leaves. Add both to a bowl with the nigella seeds, a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime juice. This is your salad. Warm the naan in a microwave or in a hot oven.

Tip! If cooking for kids, keep a portion of the grated carrots plain and set aside before tossing with the nigella, lime and coriander.

6 Serve

Serve the butter chicken over the cooked basmati rice. Serve the salad and naan bread to the side.

Tip! Serve the plain chicken pieces without the sauce. Then add the rice, naan and carrots separately. Serve the curry sauce and nigella seeds on the side.
